The Haven

A well placed apartment very close to the town centre.

Accommodation was just as described and was very comfortable. It was great to have off street parking.

Many thanks to our hosts for the welcome gift.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. We particularly enjoyed the location as we were just a short walk into Buxton with all its amenities. The Pavilion Gardens were lovely and we would recommend The Old Club House for a bite to eat.

Excellent location for shops snd eating out.

Just a little help we found the entrance to the flat at the back marked Athelstane terrace took us a bit to find it

The Haven turned out to be just that … a quiet, cool and comfortable retreat from the frantic activity at the Buxton Festival we attended, and wonderfully convenient for the venues.

Communication with the owner was exemplary, and the welcoming wine and milk much appreciated. Everything we needed was ready to hand and we felt at home immediately. The Wi-Fi worked well, as did the TV – though we were watching even the late news on catch-up! The flat is part of an interesting building – it would be nice to know its story – and the natives were friendly, especially the folk in #2, with whom The Haven (flat #1) shares a common outer door and hallway. But you’d not know you were living close to others, as the internal sound insulation was excellent, and the substantial distance from the road and from other flats meant that there were no outdoor rowdies. The car parking space at the bottom of the garden is conveniently near the flat entrance, though negotiating it would have been easier with a smaller car … but then, so would the Derbyshire lanes! Highly recommended, and The Haven will be our first choice of accommodation if we’re able to come back to Buxton, as we hope to do next year.

Superb apartment a short walk from the town centre.

As it faces north east we only had sun in the early morning which meant the whole apartment stayed cool in this ridiculous weather we’ve been having. There is everything you need in the kitchen including tea, coffee, sugar and a pint of milk in the fridge. We spent our first night relaxing with the complimentary bottle of wine, which is a lovely touch. The furniture is top quality, the bed really comfortable, the shower is lovely and there is a store cupboard equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. Lillian was quick to respond to all our communications and was very helpful. We would absolutely recommend staying here and will definitely stay again ourselves when in or near Buxton in the future. John and Karen

The flat was quite spacious and very well situated for the plentiful good restaurants in Buxton in the evenings and for exploring Derbyshire by day.

Kitchen well stocked if you prefer to self cater, although no dishwasher. Decent sized modern TV. Bed comfortable. A pint of milk in the fridge on arrival was a very welcome touch. All in all, good value.

Apartment very comfortable and close to all facilities in Buxton very well equipped with everything we needed.

We enjoyed staying in The Haven very much.

Could not fault a thing. Perfect base for exploring many walks a short drive from Buxton.

W loved staying at Lillian’s.

It was close to the town centre and all on one level.Comfy bed and large shower. We were part of a large walking group scattered about many different accommodations in the town. It was our annual weekly holiday and we were pleased we chose Buxton as our base. Thank you Lillian for the btl of wine.It was nice to see tea and coffee waiting for us too. A great place to stay

A very well equipped comfortable apartment within easy walking distance from the centre of Buxton.

Buxton is a lovely town with a large park and theatre. Parking is off road.

Really nice flat very handy for local amenities nice quiet location Buxton is a great place to stay and a very good base to explore all the many places to visit And would definitely recommend the haven to stay

The apartment was well located, easy walking distance from the town centre and pleasant local walks from the door.

A dedicated parking space made loading easier on arrival and departure. It was well equipped, comfortable and warm. Would definitely stay here again.

Great apartment in lovely area of Buxton.

Very well equipped and maintained. Plenty to do and see around town within easy walking distance

Really nice accommodation .

Central and quiet. All facilities and nice with the extras. Super place for exploring Buxton. Five minutes to the town and well situated for a morning hike to Corbar woods

Lovely stay.

Everything we needed. Very comfortable. Bottle of wine and milk in fridge lovely touches…thank you. Great location so near to the town for restaurants and fabulous walks. Just a bit noisy in the early mornings from the traffic…forgot about that from last time. Other than that…a great stay.

We had a lovely stay at the Haven, was very clean & comfortable everything you could need for a long stay, was within walking distance of the town with plenty to do, bus/trains to further towns, exceptional eateries bars cafes to satisfy everyone, would definitely stay again.

Had a lovely 3 night stay in this Flat.

It was warm, cosy & well equipped with all we needed. Location is very good for the Opera House, Pavilion Gardens and Buxton Town Centre. As stated on other reviews, it is not easy to determine the correct parking space on a cold and damp November night but the instructions given are correct and it was not a big issue. Would definitely book to stay again the next time we are planning to stay over in Buxton.

Lovely cozy well equipped flat.

For the price it's very spacious and excellent value for money. Appreciated the easy to use boost function on the hive heating system when temperatures dropped. Very close to town centre but quiet enough set back from a busy road. Would happily stay again. Realised I think I left some bread in the bread bin, apologies for that.

Lovely apartment, quiet, comfortable, clean and cosy.

Very near to all there is to do in Buxton, all of it a short walk or drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cresent experience and walking around the local historical buildings and park. We found the car park difficult to find partly because the building was called Hathlestane lodge, and we were expecting it to be called The Haven; but also because there was an unexpected travelling fair and fireworks just at the entrance causing parking difficulties. However, we did manage to park up by guesswork and then quickly got into the apartment. We worried it would be noisy during to the fair, but after eating out the whole fair/fireworks were gone and the apartment was very quiet. Never heard any of the neighbours. Great stay, would definitely visit again.

Lovely apartment in a beautiful building and all so well located near the opera house.

Would be happy to stay there again in future. A minor enhancement I would like to see in the future is electric car chargers in the car park. These would encourage EV drivers like myself to choose this accommodation over any other.

This is our sixth stay at the Haven already booked for next year lovely accommodation and lovely area everything is within walking distance.

Plenty of places to visit as well plus plenty of nice walking areas

I would highly recommend this flat, clean , organised has everything you need.

Makes for a lovely holiday. I would like to thank Lillian (flat owner) for the bottle of wine and milk. Thank you . Steven

We enjoyed our few days at The Haven.

Great location for the town with only a short walk to attractions, pubs and restaurants. The accommodation was just as described and had everything we needed. Appreciated the wine and milk left by owners which was a lovely gesture.

Nice accommodation, modern kitchen, close to Buxton Pavilion and town centre.

Easy off street parking.

Needs updating Bed not comfortable at all Musty smell inside the cottage Close to town centre Got its own carpark place

Lovely apartment.

Good location for the town centre.

Great position nice easy walk into town Lovely spacious apartment

Just a lovely apartment.

Comfortable and cozy, fantastic heating system which was greatly appreciated on a few snowy days in January. Perfectly equipped with all you could need in every room. Located ten minutes walk from town centre and station. Hope to return when the weather is better!

The haven is a lovely apartment, very well equipped, comfortable and spotless.

It’s great having a parking space, and the location is good being within easy walking distance to The Opera House, shops and restaurants

Fantastic stay and super clean.

Had everything you needed and was just like a home away from home. Great location, 5 minutes walk from the Opera House and Pavilion Gardens.

The apartment is lovely with parking and a walk into town.

Very comfortable with all the things you need for a week away. We got a little confused with the directions as it said opposite the park but in fact it's is opposite the tennis club. New signs were out up while we were there so perhaps it will make it easier to find.

Our 2nd stay at this flat.

It is a lovely, clean and comfortable property. Situated very close to the railway station, the Opera House and the centre of Buxton. We had a lovely week visiting the Christmas Market the light switch on, Buxton Opera House and Chatsworth for Christmas at Chatsworth. All made to feel so much more christmassy because we had snow. Thankyou to the owners of the property.

Excellent for a couple great location and parking on site

We have been here several times and are already booked for next year lovely apartment very clean and comfortable.

Lovely location.

Footpath from car park to Flat door dangerous.

Shock to find the only two Windows in Flat covered in scaffolding making the the flat very dark. We had no prior warning of this. Bathroom very dirty, fan full of airs, shower waste blocked, shower head clogged never been cleaned. Shower screen never been cleaned and mould round the sealant of shower tray. The toilet brush dirty. The two seater sofa and matching arm chair were grubby. The lounge lighting very poor. Kitchen toaster had not been cleaned, baking tray dirty, we had to scrub the drinking mugs. On the corner of the building (outside) next to bedroom window was a motion sensor light. This was clearly faulty as opposed to working, came on for 17 seconds and off for 3 seconds all through the night none stop. The light flashing continually through the night through the gap between ceiling and curtains made it difficult sleeping. The bed in our opinion had seen better days. Given the location of the flat which was very good, we enjoyed Buxton very much but with problems with the flat as described we felt it necessary to vacate the flat after 4 nights instead of the 7 we had paid for. We have taken photographs to backup our critic's.

Lovely flat very comfortable and close to town centre.

Added bonus was parking. Highly recommend and would certainly book again.

Really nice apartment in the heart of Buxton and a five minute walk from many restaurants and 10 minutes from station.

Thought the apartment was very well furnished and extremely comfortable for a short break. Overall delighted with our stay.

Fantastic accommodation in a perfect location for exploring the town and nearby attractions.

Good to have off road parking and easy access to the property. Beautifully furnished and every facility had been provided from a hairdryer to a washing machine. Minor issue with the boiler immediately resolved by the friendly owner. Thank you for the milk and red wine - both got drunk! The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was very clean. The property is on a hill, but Buxton is very hilly and wonderfully picturesque. We needed the short walk back to help burn the calories consumed at the numerous excellent restaurants! Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back in the future.

Lovely flat very comfortable very well equipped good location.

We had a lovely stay at the Haven , everything was as described would highly recommend.

Very nice apartment in a great location.

Had everything we wanted for a lovely peaceful and relaxing holiday. Parking was easy although the birds in the trees above made a right mess of the car.

Brilliant apartment and our second visit.

Ideal location for walking, shopping or just visiting. Highly recommend

A very clean and cosy flat with everything you need for your stay, including private parking.

I would definitely recommend The Haven for your stay in Buxton.

Absolutely wonderful apartment in prime location, 5 minute walk into Buxton, everything needed in the apartment, thank you for welcome bottle of wine, will definitely return.

The main road can be noisy but it was bearable, thank you

Our third visit to The Haven…always first choice when visiting Buxton because of location and home from home feel when we are here.

Great one bedroom apartment.

The main road was noisy in the morning but that's the only negative thing. Everything else was spot on. Thanks.

We had such a lovely time here!

It was incredibly comfortable and luxurious - I would love to come again!

This was our third stay at The Haven so it felt like a home from home.

As always really comfortable apartment, clean and cosy and well placed to explore Buxton and the surrounding area.

Perfect name for the Property!

A home away from home (our second visit within a year) Ticks all the boxes…great location, spacious, clean and comfortable…we will be back!

We have been visiting for a few years now and always find the property very clean and tidy.

Always a lovely bottle of wine waiting to be enjoyed. Will continue to vist every year.

Lovely place to stay, really comfortable with everything we needed.

Great location for both walking in to Buxton and for other attractions in the area.

We really enjoyed staying at this homely, comfy flat.

Its in a fabulous location to enjoy all that Buxton has to offer, especially the Pavilion Gardens which are a few minutes walk away. We loved the modern kitchen and bathroom and really felt like we were 'coming home' every evening, especially when the weather wasn't so good. We really appreciated, too, the comfy bed, wine and milk, and all the extras like flannels, soap etc... it had everything we needed. We had a little difficulty knowing which parking bay to use, and where the entrance to the flat was, so maybe better instructions for this would be good, but otherwise the flat was absolutely perfect and we would thoroughly recommend, and try to return if visiting the area again.

This is the best flat we have stayed in ,it as everything you need for a good holiday.

Very comfy bed. Clean and tidy. Ideally placed for meals and going for a drink. Hope to stay again soon. Anne&john. Davies.

Lovelly place plenty of room, very clean and a great location with rear parking.

Will definetly stay there again

The apartment was comfortable and clean, although we mostly ate out, the equipment provided in the apartment was more than adequate.

The apartment was quiet, despite being on a busy road and you heard nothing from other flat occupants. The apartment was very well located, right near the centre of Buxton. There was one drawback however, the parking space was under trees and our lovely car was covered with sticky stuff all over, which took some effort to remove. We therefore parked on Park Road for the remaining time, which was unfortunate.

What a perfect and delightful flat, it had everything you could possibly need and more!

! The welcome pack was a lovely touch. It was comfortable, plenty big enough for two people and only 5 minutes from shops, pubs and the park. It is also well placed for walks and touring of the Peak District and Derbyshire, Bakewell is a must on a Monday for the market! The opening to the parking space is not big and not easy to find especially if someone parks on the road in front of the marker stone but drive slowly as you pass the park entrance on the left and you will see it 20 yards further on the right. That is the only negative thing we can say about this lovely flat and it's hardly worth mentioning....

The Haven was very clean, warm and comfortable.

It is in a great location, quiet but very close to everything Buxton has to offer, with the added bonus of a parking space.

The comfortable, clean and well equipped flat is very convenient for all the facilities Buxton and the surrounding area has to offer.

We would definitely book again.

Fabulous property,bed,shower and sofas all great.

Added extras much appreciated i.e milk in fridge in arrival. Great location easy walk to all amenities even when very rainy! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Would stay again and recommend to others.

The property was clean, tidy, comfortable & well presented & had all the facilities needed for a week's stay.

It was very close to the town centre so great for visiting places & with the snow that feel heavily during the 2nd half of the week's stay - very handy to go & buy food & supplies from Waitrose. The owner also kindly offered further days to ride out the snow but these were not needed. If there was 1 very picky criticism it would be the size of the bath towels - they need to have big fluffy bath sheets. But as stated that's picky...though all in all a lovely stay & would be very happy to return

Lovely place in a nice location.

Bit more attention to detail with the cleaning. The shower is very slow to drain and more than likely needs unblocking. The nice little teaset was left out and we couldn't use it as it was again bit dirty. Better lighting needed for the bedroom. A peaceful place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable and warm (in a freezing cold, snowy week) and very conveniently positioned. We had a bit of a problem finding the flat but once we found Park Road it was ok. Thank you

Great place in a wonderful location.

Easy access to all that Buxton has to offer as well as long walks further afield.

As always fantastic property we have been coming here for four years already booked for next year.

The property has everything you need and is extremely clean. Great location plenty of things to do nice walk into the town.

Comfortable, clean, quiet and well-equipped flat.

Very convenient for the town centre.

A very good base for us for our time in and around Buxton; comfortable, well appointed and very handy for the town centre facilities.

2nd stay at this lovely apartment, very near to town centre, and a fabulous park only 5mins away,oldies take your bus passes many places to bus too.

This apartment is clean and very spacious. Highly recommended.

Lovely property in a great location , very quiet and everything needed for an enjoyable stay provided.

Very thoughtful welcome package of tea, coffee, milk and wine was really appreciated . We had a great time exploring this beautiful area .

Great cottage, thanks

Great location for the town, excellent value for money, great shower and kitchen facilities.

Would definitely hire it again. Thanks.

A lovely flat in a great location.

Fully equipped and everything you could need was provided. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely use again

Flat very central to Buxton without being noisy or overlooked.

Parking at back of property. Facilities good. Only problem found on last day of stay and owners contacted immediately. Was able to cope until we left the property, although I expect that it would have been dealt with immediately if we had asked.

Good looking and comfortable accommodation.

Excellent location.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Haven.

The flat is very well situated to visit the town centre. It was lovely and clean, and very well furnished and equipped. Although close to a main road and near the town centre it was very quiet. The addition of Netflix was a bonus. We would definitely stay there again. I would rate it as our second best accommodation that we have stayed at over the years.

We have recently had a wonderful 4 night break here at the Haven.

Blown away by the modernness and high standard of the flat, was definitely home from home to the point that we were not ready to leave. Thank you for the comfy bed to. The Haven is well situated within walking distance to the shops and other places of interest to see, highly recommended. If you don’t fancy staying in and cooking then their are several restaurants within walking distance, enjoy.

Lovely property with a well equipped kitchen and nice big living room, welcoming bottle of wine waiting on arrival!

Really well located for the City Centre and to get out to the surrounding areas, would happily stay here again. Only small complaint was the bathroom door hinges & handle need a bit of WD40 as they're a bit creaky.

Excellent holiday apartment, furnished and equipped to a high standard and in a great location in Buxton.

Extremely comfortable and well equipped flat and in a great location.

We will recommend to others and stay again.

What a fantastic property in beautiful Buxton.

Really well situated with the added bonus of a parking space. Easy walking distance to everything but in a quiet location. The property itself is very homely and comfortable and furnished and equipped to a high standard. Thank you to the owners for the welcoming bottle of wine and milk, a lovely property which we will definitely return to again. Had a fantastic week.

Everything you need to enjoy a break , in a very good location to town without the noise.

Great also for other beautiful villages and walks , would book again if coming to the area

Excellent apartment everything that we needed as a perfect base to explore the Peak District.

The standard and cleanliness of the apartment was second to none. Convenient location for visiting Buxton and exploring the wider area. The wine and milk on arrival was a nice touch thank you.

Plenty of detailed arrival information from Sykes and also the owner of the holiday property.

A lovely touch/welcome of a bottle of wine and milk . Beautiful homely property , very well equipped and clean . Despite the stormy and snowy weather the property was cosy & warm too. Beautiful relaxing stay , thank you .

We appreciated the advance correspondence from the agent and owner.

The apartment was beautiful, comfortable and more than met our needs. The only- relatively minor-issue was that we were scratching our heads in locating the allocated parking space, as we arrived in winter darkness, so as not to inconvenience others. I think we did figure it out. Thank-you for a lovely stay.

Excellent place to stay, all our needs catered for.

Even better than we expected.

Spotlessly clean, well equipped and cosy. Bed was super comfortable and possibly the best night's sleep we've had when away. Only 5-10min walk to Opera House, gardens and town. Plan on going here again and would recommend to others.

Excellent property, clean spacious, beautifully furnished and well equipped.

Great location not far from town centre. Finding it using the Sykes map and the name the Haven was a bit confusing as the the property is part of Athelstan Terrace and across the road from where it is marked on the map.

Fabulous apartment, clean, comfortable with great home comforts.

Cannot fault it.

The property is in a great location the property also has everything you could need it is cleaned to a high standard a fantastic place to stay already booked again for next year.

My partner and I booked The Haven for a week at the end of August.

The Haven is in a large building which has been broken up into Apartments. If you come into Buxton from Ashbourne you will come to Park Road on the left opposite a sign indicating the name of the hill - Park Road is circular. We found the parking spaces to be slightly unclear due to the markings rubbing off but didn't have a problem with not being able to park. The apartment is accessed via an entrance which gives access to apartments 1&2. The apartment is compact but spacious and comfortable. The Kitchen was well appointed with a great level of equipment - we had a small issue because the pans weren't working on the hob but we emailed the owner who resolved it very quickly. We did find it a little dark in the dining area- although the windows are huge the trees provide a lot of shade and the lighting didn't help too much. We were slightly confused by the bins - there are two enclosed areas for recycling and general waste bins but the residents seem to rotate the bins for collection out of the enclosed areas so one bin is not with the other ones. We really enjoyed the Haven, it was a great base to explore Buxton

Just right for a few days in Buxton.

A short walk into the centre of town. The apartment not only met our expectations in terms of location but was very comfortable, well equipped, warm, quiet. Would definitely return ourselves for another short break in this wonderful part of Derbyshire, but would certainly recommend to friends.

A comfortable, up-to-date, one bedroom apartment conveniently situated in a relatively quiet location.

The Opera House, gardens, the Crescent and main shopping area are a few minutes walk downhill, although this does mean crossing a main road that can be quite busy. The apartment is at the front of the property and well equipped for two people. We had a most pleasant stay and would certainly consider a repeat visit.

The apartment is in an excellent location within easy walking distance of shops, buses, the rail station and the opera house.

]Athough it is within easy walking distance of all the town facilities it is set far enough back from the road to be lovely and quiet .It is very well equipped and very comfortable. We appreciated the tea and coffee and bottles of wine and milk which were awaiting us. The cooking facilities were generally excellent with a superb large fridge/freezer and a really good cooker/ceramic hob. The only niggle here was that a couple of the pans were losing their non-stick PTFE coating, resulting is some black specks in food cooked in them. Overall we had a superb week and hope to book the apartment again. The only thing that could have improved our holiday would have been a couple of portable chairs we could have taken out into the garden to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather we had all week.

Wonderful apartment within a 5 minute walk into town.

All the little extras including milk and a bottle of wine on arriving were a really thoughtful surprise. I would definitely stay here again

The haven is very convenient for town and was easy to find, good directions.

Unfortunately the outside of the building lets it down as it badly needs renovating. The settee was very low and difficult to get out of, but apart from that we were very impressed with this comfortable flat.

Buxton is great as a base for visiting Derbyshire.

The apartment was in a good position for shopping and local walks. It was quiet at night but onlt 10mins from the town centre. The apartment was very comfortable and roomy.

The property stated that the bedroom had a King Sized Bed this is false information as the bed is a standard double bed as we took our own bedding we were unable to use our own sheet.

As the building is an old Grand House with very large windows it seems very hard to open them other than our little moan a nice place to stay

We had a great to stay at the Haven.

The apartment had everything we needed and was an ideal base for exploring the Derbyshire Dales and Buxton. Thankyou for the bottle of wine and milk....a lovely touch. Hopefully we will return as there is so much more walking to explore.

Lovely apartment very clean well equipped with everything you need.

Close to all amenities excellent holiday.

It was a nice touch to have a pint of milk and a bottle of wine.

Everything was as described and just a short walk into town. The property was spacious and comfortable.

Too many advertising emails from Sykes.

The Haven at Buxton was a super apartment, not far from the centre of town.

The apartment was modern and extremely clean. The kitchen was small but nicely set out and the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen contained everything you could need from shoe polish to picnic containers, as well as the usual range of pots and pans. The apartment was tastefully decorated; the bed was comfy as was the settee in the lounge. If I was to visit Buxton again I would have no hesitation in booking this lovely apartment.

The whole flat was comfortable and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing long weekend.

The bottle in of wine was a lovely added extra!

Lovely cosy apartment with everything and more that we needed for our stay.

Great location near the park and only a short walk into town. Good to have a dedicated parking space.

The apartment was just perfect.

It was a great location, spacious and very well equipped. The owners were very friendly and accommodating providing a cot and highchair for our little one. We will definitely stay here again.

Such a comfortable and convenient flat, very stylish.

Quiet, too, considering its proximity to the town and other residents.

The location was ideal for touring the area.

It was handy having the train station with regular trains to Manchester. We had everything we needed on the doorstep including a wide variety of eating places. The accommodation was very high spec and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Lovely accommodation great location have already booked again for next year.

This accommodation ticked all the boxes for our needs.

The owners had thought of everything we could need for our stay, including set up (appliances included a combination washing machine-dryer which we don’t much have in Australia) and daily items like plastic food containers, additional bed linen, shoe cleaning and sewing kits, minor repair kits, batteries etc etc. There was a full range of cleaning stuff as well. The location was quiet and easily accessed. A standard setter in this style of accommodation.

the haven was very well equipped comfy bed ,nice and quiet, superb shower the pavillion gardens a gem,in a lovely town.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Haven.

The apartment was very clean, spacious, and in a great position for a short stroll into town. The apartment had everything we needed. It was lovely and bright, warm and comfortable. (I don’t think I’ve slept in a more comfortable bed!). It was close enough to everything (approx 5 min walk to the Opera House/Pavillion) yet lovely and quiet as it’s set back from the road. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone who is looking to stay in Buxton. We’d definitely stay there again.

A very nice flat , good base for exploring the Peak District , just one request , a headboard on the bed would have been nice as we both like to read in bed, otherwise very good facilities and pleasant and helpful owners.

We had a lovely break at the Haven , very nice apartment with everything we needed.

Very convenient for the town of Buxton. Super !
